What Could Be The Reason For Having Nausea And Blisters On My Wrist Which Had Temporary Splint?

I had tendons repaired in my right wrist. I have been able to stop wearing the temporary splint on my wrist. Now I am getting blisters around the scar site on my wrist that were not there when I had the splint on. I also am getting nausea with the use of my hand and wrist

Hi there.
Splints for tendon repair should be worn for atleast 6 weeks for support.
Blisters around the scar site seem to be an allergic reaction to some medication or a local rash.
kindly start an antibiotic like linezolid 600 mg BD and an antiallergic like tablet Avil or Allegra for a week.
Also rest the wrist in the splint to prevent movement for the time being.
good luck
